World at War

I popped out to Bruce's last night for a game of World at War. We used these WWW3 rules with some WW2 stats Bruce found on BGG to replay a bocage scenario that we played two weeks ago with Panzer Grenadier.

Wow, what a slick game. No charts, simple mechanics and the game played in half the time with no real loss of quality that I could see. The card-based activation is very smooth and the combat mechanics are uniform across different match-ups. Decent command limits and some nice little adds on such as how infantry and tanks interact depending on the circumstances.

Up next: I have some 1/72 Celtic chariots that are almost finished--just need static grass. Then obj to some more 1/72 barbarians.
